nasa television as you know it today was

17
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:45,680
born with the launch of the first space

18
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:48,719
shuttle in 1981 but the agency actually

19
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:51,120
pioneered the use of live satellite and

20
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:52,719
television technology since it was

21
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:55,600
founded 50 years ago

22
00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:57,600
and from those first grainy images

23
00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:59,680
broadcast from the surface of the moon

26
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:06,320
for the safety and success of our

27
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,479
missions and it has enabled the entire

28
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:10,400
world to share in our exploration

29
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:11,439
efforts

30
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:13,119
